Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Rix (Crossbench). It was answered on Monday, 6 December 2010.


Schools: Pupil Premium

Question
My Lords, if a learning disabled child is already included in the SEN budget, will that child also become eligible for pupil premium?
Answer

The point about the pupil premium is that it is linked to deprivation. As we all know—no one better than the noble Lord, Lord Rix—there is a lot of overlap between children with SEN and children with deprivation. The key point is that the pupil premium is intended for deprivation.
